Organiser's Description
Back for 2026 by unpopular demand, the Missoula Beer Mile returns!
Do you make bad choices? Are you maybe susceptible to peer pressure? Have you never understood why Tuesday Track is not also a Thirsty Thursday? If that sounds like you, you should come out to the Missoula Beer Mile! With official timing and scoring via FinishLynx - the same system used at the legendary Hayward Field - but run on a dirt track to keep things fitting for a race in Montana.
The festivities will start at 6:45, with races starting at 7:00 or whenever the race director thinks it's time to start. Then for folks who are still standing, a trip to Flippers for Rainiers on the race director.
Stick around after the mile for a cigarette 400 - run one lap all out while finishing a cigarette of choice in memory of Koby Pederson. He's not dead yet, but we still will all burn a drunk heater to lock back in to hit the bars and honor the founder of Missoula Run Club.
Don't drink beer? Think N/A beer is a cop out? We've got a division for you - drink 5% regulation beer-mile beers, Athletic Brewing, Kombucha, Cream Soda, La Croix, anything really - just come with 4 of them and racing flats and good vibes.
Events are free to run, but BYOB. If you're too broke for a six pack, shoot the RD an email for an application to the diversity scholarship.
